    If youre in a hurry this is not the place for you.My experiences at Summit Salon Academy have always been where I feel like Im being pampered. The students are interacting with their educators to make sure they are following techniques and procedures and they learn to listen to the customer, which is the most important thing IMHO.Best money I have spent this week-- color, cut, and style and a couple of hours of total relaxation. 👍P.S. my color is not true to life because of the fluorescent lighting. Its more of a light to medium brown with a beautiful loose curl styling.

    Two services were performed here. One was a haircut and shampoo, the technician was Jaden, who was very friendly and nice. Did a good cut in a short time. The other service was a manicure, the technician was Jaquella. The service was what I asked for which was different Easter colors on each nail. We would definitely go back to either one of these ladies.

    Bailey is so friendly and took great care of my niece. Very pleasant and put her at ease. My niece loved that she knew how to frenchbraid

    I’ve been here twice to get my hair done and it’s amazing every time for a fraction of the cost. I went to two professional salons for dyeing my hair and received quotes of over $300. Here, I paid $90. The second time I came, I wanted a curly hair cut, which was starting at $80 for other salons but was $11 here and was my favorite haircut I’ve ever had. Both times I’ve come in asking for a more complex style, so the students weren’t able to do it without instructor guidance, which was more than fine with me because it meant I was getting professional attention for my hair. the instructor spent time with us doing half my hair and teaching. The student stylists were quick to follow and executed the rest perfectly. It was all at a professional level. The students are all very sweet and love to learn. Will always return. I hope all other student salons are like this.

    The young lady trying to braid my hair did not know how to do the braid I wanted. She asked around and asked her instructor but nobody would initially help. After about 10 minutes another student came by and said she thought she could do it and did her best. I felt bad for the student as her teacher was not available and came by after my hair was almost done to point out the correct name of the braid 🙄 then walked off. This was my first time here. The students seem to have a cohesive relationship and the front desk although did not return my message was receptive when I arrived.

    I went in taking into consideration that this is a school and students services vary. The first student on 11/4 was Alisha and she was wonderful. The color was a perfect match to what I needed and the cut was excellent. On 12/7/15 Gina colored my hair and chose rhe color per the instructor/supervisor, the color was horrifying. I walked out of there with purple hair instead of copper. On 02/22 I saw Sheila and this was the worse I have ever experienced. The color was off again and ended with a dark maroon color. My head was so itchy I had to wash my hair the next day only to discover that Sheila did not rinse the color well. It took me 10 minutes under the water and shampooing it twice. Yes, it is a school, it is affordable, and chances are I will give it a try again. Is a matter of luck and who you get. Some students are born others needs lots of polishing.UPDATE - I went back and finally!!! I got the color I wanted after the instructor recommended a bleach wash.

    I had an appoiment at 12:00 and went in at 11:30 and they saw me early which was nice. I went in to make a bold cut that I was suuuper nervous about. My stylist was Danielle. She was soo sweet and very knowledgeable when it came to her craft. She cut 12 INCHES! The biggest hair cut I have ever received and I am obsessed! She walked me threw every step and included me in the whole process, occasionally the instructor would walk by to and do routine checks and give some tips to the stylist that was very nice. I will say I was very skeptical about getting my hair cut in a learning academy, but as long as Danielle is there I will be back! Oh and let’s not forget, a cut, and blow dry was only $11.00! You can’t beat that!

    They cut my husbands hair cut was excellent. My acrylic nails took 1.5 hours. The student did a French manicure that held up 3 weeks, no chipping.

    I would have given five stars, all the students are wonderful. Ive always had a good time when I get my hair cut here but recently one instructor, a mister p I believe, was very rude to not only me but to several of his students, flat out ignoring some of them asking for help

  • Review 13 (2018-05-12 - Rating: 4)

    I got Andrew doing my hair for prom, he did a great job! Everyone there is really kind and welcoming, they even put some extra glitter in for me. At times it seems kinda unprofessional but I dont go to a teaching place for top tier service. But my hair turned out exactly the way I wanted it.

  • Review 14 (2018-08-10 - Rating: 5)

    We had a great experience! Shakel trimmed my daughters hair and took great care to pay attention to detail. She was so sweet and professional and the salon over all was super clean with a modern and stylish atmosphere.

  • Review 15 (2019-05-08 - Rating: 5)

    Great place and very inexpensive. Have had Danielle trim and style my hair 3 times in the last few months and shes awesome.

  • Review 16 (2016-06-20 - Rating: 5)

    I had a color from Antione and a cut from Marissa. I look forward when they graduate and hope that they work locally. Both were very good, the prices were affordable, the service very solid and the environment and teachers were accomplished and professional. Overall this is a very solid salon/school and much better, overall, than what I have experience at the higher end salons locally. Well done!

  • Review 17 (2014-09-10 - Rating: 4)

    Perfect for what it is: Students practicing. Colors can take anywhere from normal times to 4+ hours for a new student, so plan accordingly. One of mine wasnt left on long enough to cover grey, and one missed my temples, but otherwise very good. The trims, layering Ive been brave enough to let them do have been very good. The instructor talked the newer students through, and often showed them what was expected.

  • Review 18 (2014-09-24 - Rating: 5)

    The students do a great job and the price is great. You can tell they are taught very well. I especially enjoy having Lex do my hair. I will use her as my stylist when she graduates

    I have been a student at Summit Salon Academy for just about two months now and I have to say it is so amazing!! The educators are full of knowledge and are so excited to teach what they know to us. Every time I go to school I am so excited to go and see what is in store for us that day!! I HIGHLY recommend this school to anyone interested in a career in Cosmetology!!
